Child Protection Feature!
There are two types of software that
protect children on the market.
1) Filter Programs- Filter programs block
all websites that have been identified as containing porn
or violence. All other sites are free to go to.
The problem with this method is that
word and site filters only restrict children from sites
that use the actual common word or the most common slang
words to describe the anatomy or sexual and violent acts.
The porn sites know this and are not
using these typical words. They use words to describe the
anatomy or acts that will get through to their sites and
their chat rooms. A porn or violence site can buy a new
domain name for $5.00 a year and have it up in a heartbeat.
The new porn/violence promoting site
may go undetected by the word filter software for many days.
In the mean time millions of children may have been exposed
to this content.
2) Bubble Protectors- The second type
of protection software allows only a certain defined amount
of websites to be accessed. You are not allowed to go to
any site other than what is in the software's database.
With so many good sites out there this
severely restricts the user and you are forced to be limited
to what sites are in the software.
ChildSecureWeb
 |
ChildSecureWeb is
a hybrid of both of the above protection concepts.
Our program limits the child to only the sites within
the software database as type two. However, we have
a unique feature that allows access to the favorites
folder.
So if the child's favorite website
is not in our database the parent can simply add it
to the favorites. So the child is protected but not
limited.
The cost for a good Child Browser
is approximately $40 as was also indicated in the
Dateline NBC report on Child Online Predators, 9/24/04.

There are several hundred websites that
will help the children do their school work in the database.
Additionally, there are many educational children's games
loaded in the program to keep the children busy for many
hours.
The children will not be able to access
your email account. Therefore they will never be exposed
to porn email solicitations.
Access to all the search engines is denied
when the program is placed in lock mode!
The program can not be minimized and
you can not X -OUT of it. To remove the program the parent
would have to enter the password you made up when registering
for the software.
Quick & Convenient!
The programs drop down menu system allows
you to quickly pick a topic and then select the name of
the site within the topic and go!
Children can simply click on the name
of their favorite sites instead of calling Mom and Dad over
to type in the next website they want to go to.
Children can recognize the names of the
sites but often can not spell and type them in the computers'
address bar.
Additionally, there are links right in
the software to many topics of interests.
The software becomes a Customizable Companion
Browser that can be minimized in your tray.
You can activate or uninstall the software
at any time. The software download produces two icons on
your desktop, one to activate the program and the other
to uninstall it.
The program does not replace or take
over any existing programs.
